“COVID has really changed our market and we have had a large increase in buyers looking in both the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane hinterland at properties.
“From the start, the enquiries have come from local, Western Australia, western NSW and western QLD buyers, while registered bidders on our auctions have come from as far as America and Singapore. We also received enquiries from the UK, producing multiple offers on properties and continued auction sales success.”
Ms Pain said rural and lifestyle properties in this market vary, as do the needs of those buyers looking for a lifestyle change.
“Today's buyers are looking for family opportunities to raise their children in a more rural area with appreciation of fresh, home grown fruit and vegetables from their own backyard,” she said.
“As a family business and personally growing up in western Queensland we understand the benefits of raising a family with such a wide range of opportunities from growing your own fruit and vegetables to running 100 or 200 head of cattle.”
